Just A Dream
Jimmy Wayne Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I had a dream last night
That you weren't in my life
It felt so real, that I

Woke up reachin' for you baby
What would I do, if ever I lost you?

I would walk this earth

I would sail the seas
I would climb the highest mountain
Get down on my knees
And pray for a miracle
God bring her back to me
That's what I'd do
But it was just a dream, just a dream

Never before, have I
Felt so much relief inside
Till I opended my eyes
And you, were lying there beside me baby
What would I do, if I ever lost you?

I would walk this earth
I would sail the seas
I would climb the highest mountain
Get down on my knees
And pray for a miracle
God bring her back to me
That's what I'd do
But it was just a dream, just a dream

And thank God that's all it was
But it proved to me how much
I love you, and without you, what would I do?

I would walk this earth
I would sail the seas
I would climb the highest mountain
Get down on my knees
And pray for a miracle
God bring her back to me

That's what I'd do
But it was just a dream, just a dream
